What is Acropolis?

For some visitors, the Acropolis is synonymous with the Parthenon.

Hence, first, let’s clarify the meanings of “Acropolis” and “Parthenon.”

The “Acropolis” refers to the entire hill, while the “Parthenon” specifically denotes a temple on top of the hill.

Other notable monuments on the Acropolis include the Propylaea, Erechtheion, Theater of Dionysus, and Temple of Odeon, to name a few.

Despite some misconceptions, all these attractions are part of the same archaeological site and require only one ticket for entry.

However, the Acropolis Museum , situated at the base of the hill, requires a separate admission ticket.

Things to Know Before you Book your Acropolis Tickets

When planning your visit to the Acropolis, the quality of your experience depends on the tickets you purchase.

Here are some helpful tips to assist you in purchasing the right ticket to ensure a memorable visit –

  • Skip-the-line can make all the difference: The average wait time to enter the Acropolis can take up to two hours or more during peak tourist season.  By pre-booking your tickets online , you can skip the ticket queues in the day heat and explore the Acropolis without wasting time, making your visit more efficient and enjoyable.
  • Guided tours are best: When you book a guided tour , you can enjoy a hassle-free trip where your guide has a planned itinerary to help you navigate your way efficiently through the massive Acropolis.
  • Combo tickets reduce the hassle : Athens is full of amazing sites and attractions, and when in Athens, you would want to visit every place possible. Instead of buying tickets for each attraction, you can simply buy a combo ticket that combines multiple attractions in one ticket, saving you money and the hassle of buying tickets at each site. 
  • Morning or evening visits enhance your experience: The Acropolis is a popular tourist destination in Athens, Greece, and it can get quite crowded during the day.  Every visitor to the Acropolis recommends an early morning or late afternoon visit to avoid crowds and heat during the day. The best time to visit the Acropolis is between 8 am and 10 am or after 5 pm when the crowds have thinned out.
  • Know the opening and closing hours well: Knowing the Acropolis hours is key to avoid disappointment! Tickets are timed, so if you miss the closing time, you can’t enter even with a ticket. Double-check the hours before booking to ensure your visit goes smoothly.

Timed Entry

Types of Acropolis of Athens Tickets

Starting last year, a new government regulation mandates timed entry for all Acropolis tickets. 

The aim is to manage crowds effectively, with a daily limit of 20,000 visitors. 

The schedule allocates 3,000 visitors from 8 am to 9 am, followed by 2,000 in subsequent hours. 

Hence, it’s best to secure your preferred time slot and avoid disappointment by booking online in advance. 

Visitors must select their date and time of entry during booking and arrive 15 minutes before their slot. 

This measure prioritizes crowd management and enhances the overall visitor experience. 

Similar restrictions are expected for other archaeological sites in Greece soon.

Why Visit Acropolis of Athens

An Acropolis refers to any complex built on a high hill. The Acropolis of Athens was built 2500 years ago by the Mycenaean Civilization. 

It rises 490 feet (150 m) above the surrounding area, today’s Athens, has a surface area of approximately seven acres and so was a natural choice for building the fort. The fortress and palace became the central point of power for the Mycenaeans.

The Acropolis of Athens is an awe-inspiring fortress boasting the remarkable Temple of Athena Nike, the Parthenon, dedicated to the city’s namesake, Athena and many more legendary structures.

Rich in history, it witnessed the Persian invasion and subsequent rebuilding.

Today, the Acropolis attracts thousands of visitors and features on the bucket list of most travelers worldwide. 

Visiting the monument presents an opportunity to explore the past and see the sheer human ingenuity involved in constructing this iconic structure.

To truly immerse in its grandeur, visit the Acropolis Museum on a guided tour.

Best Time to Visit Acropolis

The Acropolis of Athens History

The ideal time to visit the Acropolis is early mornings as soon as it opens at 8 am.

All travelers to the Acropolis have consistently mentioned in their reviews that it’s best to be there at 8 am as soon as it opens for a peaceful visit.

Acropolis receives many visitors from cruise ships that dock at Athens for a day. Hence, avoiding the 10 am to 3 pm hours is best.

Pro Tip – Check out the cruise ship time table to plan a smooth trip!

Planning a visit in the early evening around 4 pm from April to October and 3 pm from November to March, provides a quieter experience as crowds tend to thin out. 

However, it’s crucial to note the last entry times to ensure access. 

Considering these factors, visitors can plan their visit to the Acropolis to maximize enjoyment and minimize discomfort.

What is the Acropolis?

The Greek words for “highest point” and “city” are Akron and Polis so the Acropolis is, or was, a city high above modern-day Athens. It sits on a huge flat rock 150m above sea level, in the middle of the city and is the primary monument of Athens, and one of the most recognisable in the world.

The ancient citadel comprised many structures including several temples such as the famous Parthenon, two sanctuaries, several theaters, and innumerable statues, altars and meeting places.

At various times it has been damaged, rebuilt, added to and occupied by foreign invaders including the Romans who built the Herodes Odean Theater and the Ottomans who constructed a mosque. At one point it was even the headquarters of the Ottoman army and its harem.

Today it is regarded as one of the most fascinating and beautiful structures on the planet and is a must-do for all visitors to Athens.

Further reading : Greek Mythology places to visit    

Note: New protocols and ticketing for the Acropolis started on April1, 2024.

Like visiting many famous attractions, it is now important to understand the new rules and plan ahead, especially for summer.

What changed?

  • Visitors numbers are now capped at 20,000 per day ( don’t worry, most of the year there are a lot less visitors than that)
  • Time slots have been introduced
  • Prices increased although some new discounts were also introduced
  • Private after-hours tours were introduced

When is the best time to visit the Acropolis?

The Acropolis is incredible to visit at any time of year, although spring and autumn  have the best weather conditions. 

Summer is great due to lack of rain but it can get very hot, not just due to the ambient temperature but also because of the reflection off all the pale surfaces, something you will find across Athens and many of the islands too.

In July 2023 there were days when visitor numbers exceeded 23,000, so some new protocols are now in place to try and eleviate crowds. 

I recommend people visit the Acropolis either very early – around 15 minutes before opening time, so 7:45 am, or just before closing time around 6-7pm ( or 3-4 in winter). This way you will avoid both the sun and the crowds which are especially big when the cruise ship tours start arriving late in the morning.

( tip: the late afternoon is also excellent for photos especially at dusk)

How to get to the Acropolis

The Acropolis is the major landmark of Athens and it is impossible to miss commanding center stage in the middle of the city and shining down on the suburbs surrounding it.

If you are staying in the center of Athens it is likely you will be able to walk to The Acropolis or it will be a short taxi ride. There are public buses too and the Hop On Hop Off Bus stops near the south gate.

The Acropolis has its own metro stop, Acropoli, which is very handy for the main Acropolis entrance to the west. However, both Thissio and Monastiraki stations are also close to the side Acropolis entrance as well, in the southeast. The main entrance, unsurprisingly, is the busiest and is also where big tour groups enter. We use the other one!

How to get tickets to the Acropolis

Queues at the ticket offices, especially in Summer, can be significant, so it pays to be organised. With the new time slots, it is possible you will be able to get a ticket for your preferred time at the gate if it is winter, but for the rest of the year, we strongly recommend you pre-book.

It is possible to buy the tickets directly from the official ticketing website – which is not Government owned contrary to popular belief but a private company, or through a trusted platform like Get Your Guide or Viator .

Multi Pass Tickets

Multi-pass Tickets for the Acropolis and six other sites is highly recommended if you intend to see at least 4 ( they are all close together and can easily be done in a single day). If you see 3 or fewer it is the same price to buy individual tickets at each site.

The pass is valid for 5 days and the time starts when you visit your first site. You may choose to start with your booked Acropolis time slot and then do the others, or you can do it in the middle, the end, or anytime in the 5 days.

Our suggested sequence for these sites, in terms of geography and efficiency is The Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, then the Temple of Zeus – walk through the National Gardens to Aristotles School, then head west to the Roman Agora, Hadrians Library, Ancient Agora and Kerameikos at the end.

The Elevator at The Acropolis

A lot of people wonder if The Acropolis is wheelchair friendly or indeed if anyone with a disability, limited mobility or even just the elderly can visit the Acropolis. 

Thankfully in 2020 a generous donation from The Onassis Foundation meant significant work was done on the elevator at the Acropolis that now means it is fully operational with new, flat pathways around the Acropolis that are suitable for wheelchairs. It can also be used by a parent attending with two or more infants on their own.

The elevator arrives on the Acropolis plateau, to the area north of the Erechtheion. Visitors can follow  the route towards the Propylaea or the route between the Parthenon and the Erechtheion.  At the end of that route there is also a restroom.

It is a good idea to ring ahead and ensure the lift is operating on the day you plan to arrive. C ontact +30 210 3214172.

Note: Entry to the Acropolis for people with disabilities is free.

Points of interest 

Dionysus Sanctuary  and the  Dionysus Theater  which is considered the most significant theater in Europe as it is where the very first theatrical performance was ever held.

The Parthenon is considered by many engineers and architects as the most perfect structure every built. If viewed from the sky the Parthenon forms a perfect equilateral triangle with the  Temple of Aphaea , on the island of  Aegina , and the  Temple of Poseidon, at   Cape Sounion.

The Temple of Athena Nike was built around 420BC and is dedicated to the goddess Athena Nike, for whom Athens is named. It has a prominent position in the south west corner of the property.

The Erectheion a temple on the north side that was dedicated to Athena and Poseidon. It is particularly famous for its Porch of Caryatids ( or Porch of Maidens) , six columns made from statues of female figures. Some of the originals of these can be found in the Acropolis Museum.

The Propylea is the main gate to the Acropolis and was commissioned by Pericles after the Persian Wars. It consists of a colonnade and a number of structures leading up to the entry, but was sadly never completed.

The Odeon of Herodes Atticus theater that was built between 160AD – 174AD and is still in use today. During the summer, there are a number of performances and events available – see the event schedule . We have enjoyed a wonderful night under the stars, seeing the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and Piano Virtuoso Yuja Wang. What an incredible and very special experience it was!

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – General Admission

There are two ticket offices on the Acropolis where you may buy a basic ticket, or you can buy it online in advance. You can discover a comprehensive list of visitors who are eligible for free or discounted entry to the Acropolis at the bottom of this page.

Everyone is welcome to visit the Acropolis – The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets

Open Days in Greece allow visitors to all historic sites, monuments, and museums to access them for free. From November to March, every first Sunday of the month from November 1 to March 31 is a special day dedicated to the memory of Melina Mercouri, who was killed in a plane crash on March 6, 1966. (all included).

To secure a spot, you’ll have to show up at the event alongside the hundreds of other hopefuls. I won’t spend my time in the Acropolis on “Free Entry for All” days because it’s been chronicled in tales and photos. Free admission continues to attract a large number of people. If you’re on a limited budget, visit late in the day to take advantage of the free entrance (or early, but many tour groups go early).

What time can I visit Acropolis , Parthenon, and other ancient Greek ruins?

When it’s warm outside, you may visit ancient sites from early in the morning till dark (beginning 1 April). In the winter, we are open from 8:00 am to 17:00 pm.  

I need to buy my tickets at the Acropolis athens and Acropolis ticket offices.

The only way to obtain a ticket to the event is to utilize the ticket vending machines on-site if you didn’t purchase one in advance online and don’t mind taking a chance. The primary ticket office for the Acropolis is located underneath the main entrance.

There aren’t long queues even on the busiest days and weekends in winter (20-30 minutes at the busiest periods). If you want to avoid waiting in line for longer than two hours throughout the summer, follow these tips.

On this website, you may also buy a ticket and other items together as a package deal. As a reminder, you may also get your unique ticket at the entrance of each participating archaeology. Check out some other options instead of waiting in line at the Acropolis ticket office this summer (there are never long queues at these sites). It doesn’t matter whether or not you purchase a special ticket at the gate.

No longer will you be need to wait in line in order to visit the Acropolis ; instead, you will be free to access the site whenever you choose. The multi-site ticket is valid for five days after purchase. Near the entrance to the Dionysus Theatre, there is a ticket booth. As compared to the main entrance, there are less people waiting here.

Do you have the option of purchasing an Acropolis ticket online in advance?

To purchase either a single-entry ticket or a multi-site/combination ticket, you may do so online beginning in 2018. (As detailed in the following paragraphs). Online ticket purchases do not remove the requirement to wait in line at the box office for tickets. You’ll have to wait in a long line to get to the Acropolis . Skip-the-line tickets and guided tours are two ways to avoid the long lines at attractions.

Purchase online – The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets

Even if you buy your tickets in advance, you will still have to wait in line with the rest of the passengers. Buy tickets online using the official e-ticketing site of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and Sports. For your information, Archaeology Travel is not a part of the Greek government’s official website.

At the bottom of this page, which is available in both Greek and English, there are detailed instructions with screenshots. Online ticket purchases will not be available to those looking to get a head start on the season. June tickets cannot be purchased on the official website before the end of January.

Until the 1st of April, this will not be finalized and put into practice. This is due to the fact that summer and winter airfares are so vastly different in cost. At the moment of purchase, August tickets are only available until the end of October. To purchase a winter vacation ticket, you’ll need to try again on November 1st (1 November 2020 to 31 March 2021). Our GetYourGuide partners allow you to reserve your seats in advance, which is another perk.

Before purchasing tickets to the Acropolis online, please read this.

All of us assumed that purchasing from the “official website” would be secure, and we’re not alone. Emails flood my inbox when individuals inform me they’ve ordered their tickets incorrectly (using the wrong dates) or that they have to change their vacation plans due to a mistake.

They sent a letter to this department. “Bad luck,” was the unambiguous reaction. “Read the Terms & Conditions” With authorised ticket sellers, refunds or exchanges for tickets purchased in error are not available.

You cannot change your plans, because there is no way for you to do so. If you’re unsure about anything, please double-check your order details before submitting it. In order to protect my clients’ personal information, I am unable to provide email screenshots. Unfortunately, purchasing through the official website is a gamble.  

In light of the above – The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets

As a matter of fact, I strongly encourage you to use the GetYourGuide website to purchase a ticket from one of our reliable partners. You may cancel your order within 24 hours and get a full refund. So how come these providers won’t return your money?

Instead, they take your reservation and make large purchases so you don’t have to worry. I’m certain that the extra money I’ve paid is well worth it, based on the positive comments I’ve received from readers. A step-by-step tutorial will be provided at the bottom of this page if you are confident of your dates and cautious.   Takes you from the Greek home page to last page of process..

Tickets Online- The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets

You may purchase tickets for several trips to the Acropolis online. Packaged together or in a unique way If you want to visit other significant archaeological sites in Athens, purchasing tickets is a smart idea. Due to the Greek Ministry of Culture’s control over certain locations, these tickets are legal to purchase. Each participating location’s entrance or the Ministry of Culture and Sports’s website may purchase a ticket (link below).

  http://odysseus.culture.gr You must buy a multisite/Combo ticket online in order to avoid both the Ticket Office wait and the lines at the two Acropolis gates. You may buy a combo ticket for €30 per person all year round without a winter discount.

Do ticket bundles provide any advantages over purchasing only the individual tickets?

The answer to this inquiry depends on how many locations you intend to visit, just as with other combination tickets/passes and packages. The Combo Ticket is valid at FIVE locations for seven days. Pricing for this particular ticket bundle varies greatly depending on whether you purchase it in the summer or winter. It costs €64 for the Combo Ticket to access both locations throughout the summer (1 April to 31 October).

To purchase the Combo Ticket, visitors may pay €20 for the Acropolis (€10) and €10 for the Ancient Agora (€10). There are seven sites to view in the schedule, and the Acropolis is one of them. There is a half-price discount of 50% on single-entry tickets for each venue during the summer months (see the list below for eligibility). The Combo Ticket does not qualify for a 50% discount. Each location’s discounted entrance charge is €32.

Assuming that you want to visit all seven venues, you’ll save money by getting the combo ticket for €30 (€32). During the winter months (1 November to 31 March), everyone pays half-price (50 percent discount) at all seven sites (see the list below).

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – Discounts are available for the duration of the summer.

A 50 percent summer discount does not include an extra 50 percent reduction on the reduced price.   There is no discount for the Combo Ticket during the year. As a result, the average winter admission fee to each of the seven venues is €32.

(unless you qualify for free entry). Adding an additional €2 to your Combo Ticket is all that’s required. One or two winter vacations don’t justify purchasing the Special Ticket Package. Unless you plan to visit the Lykeion Archaeological Site, your vacation will cost you money. In the case of the Roman Agora, for example, you’ll lose €2. Which historical places are included by the combination ticket?

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – Athens, Greece’s Acropolis

Athens’ most renowned landmark is the Acropolis , a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist destination. Most important venue of worship for ancient Athenians.   This time period is when Athens was at its most powerful, and most of its monuments are from this period. The Acropolis is home to Greece’s most famous religious structure, the Parthenon. Other notable structures are the Erechtheion and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. A one-person ticket costs €20 (a €10 savings).

You may purchase tickets for the North and South Slopes of the Acropolis online.

Acropolis’s northern and southern slopes are just as intriguing as its summit, despite the fact that most visitors to the mountain make their way to the top. Buildings on the Acropolis ‘s slopes are a reminder of how important the location was to ancient Athens in terms of religion and culture. Nearby are the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the Theatre of Dionysus, as well as a slew of other religious landmarks. Ancient Peripatos Street connects two hills considered to be one location. In order to access the North or South Slopes, you just need to pay the reduced €10 Acropolis admission fee.  

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets- City of Agora, Greece’s First Capital.

Besides acting as Athens’ principal food and retail market, the Agora was a political and judicial nerve center for the city. Even though Hephaistos Temple is the best-preserved ancient temple ruin in the area, it’s not the most visited. As a church since the 7th century, it’s been a great success. You can view the Acropolis from the Agora. Those who want to see the Stoa of Attlas restored to its former grandeur can pay an additional fee to visit the museum. There is a large collection of artifacts on show at this museum. For one person, the fee is €10 (reduced by €5).  

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – The Forum of Romans

The Roman Agora, erected in the first century B.C., is not far from the Ancient Agora. Make sure to look out for the inscription on the building’s foundation that mentions Augustus and Julius Caesar. The agora’s enormous courtyard contains a variety of attractions such as restaurants and stores because of the number of business options available. This area has public sanitary facilities as well as the octagonal Tower of Winds, which served as a hydraulic clock and served as a location for astronomical observation. Artwork depicting “eight winds” adorns the roof of the tower. It costs €8 to enter (reduced to 4)  

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – Keramikos Archaeological Site and Museum

Kerameikos is located in the ancient city of Athens’ northern neighborhood. According to the neighborhood’s name, it was formerly a popular destination for potters. However, here is where you’ll find Attic’s oldest and largest cemetery. Tumulus mounds, family graves, and individual columns surround an archaeological site ringed by walls.  You’ll get free admission to the Kerameikos Archaeological Museum as part of your ticket. The museum displays artifacts collected from the evolving burial traditions of ancient Athens, as well as those unearthed during the city’s archaeological excavations. A one-person ticket costs €8 (a €4 savings). Lykeion is a separate kind of lykeion from the others. An ancient palaestra was discovered recently during rescue efforts. An esteemed university in Seoul called as Lykeion Gymnasium (Lyceum). According to historical accounts, Aristotle’s school of philosophy was formerly located in this region. The Apollo Lykeios shrine, which predates the gymnasium, inspired the gym’s name. However, archaeologists uncovered no evidence of this temple throughout their study of the site. Ancient wrestlers and boxers practiced in this 0.25-hectare palaestra, which is now open to the public (50 x 48 m). Entrance used to cost €4 but is now just €2, a savings of €2.  

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – Hadrian’s Library in Rome is just one example.

When Athens opened to the public in 132 AD, the Roman emperor gave it Hadrian’s Library. Hadrian was a well-educated Hellenophile who had a significant impact on the city with his many accomplishments. A massive Corinthian propylon serves as an entrance to the region today, via a Pentelic marble façade with a massive Corinthian propylon. A 122-by-82-meter courtyard around the library’s peristyle structure. The ancient papyrus texts were kept in the ‘library’ to the east of the temple complex. A colossal statue of Nike and other relics uncovered during the dig are on exhibit in a small, cramped display area. The price of a single admission has increased from €3 to €6 (previously €2). Olympian With its enormous Temple of Olympian Zeus, Olympieon is a famous tourist attraction in antiquity. You can’t view the monument from the fence, despite its vast size; instead, you must stand at their feet to really understand their majesty (16 of the 104 columns remain). These include a Roman bath house, a number of residences and the remains of a 5th-century basilica, as well as elements of the city wall. The archaeological site is only a short walk away from one of Athens’ biggest avenues, Hadrian’s Arch. A one-person ticket costs €8 (a €4 savings).

The Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees.

It’s a no-brainer to see the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum at the same time. The Combo Ticket does not include admission to the Acropolis Museum.   Admission to these museums isn’t too expensive. It costs an additional €2 to take a tour of the Acropolis Museum and Archaeological Excavation with Get YourGuide >>. If you’re just interested in seeing the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, avoid the crowds at both locations: The Acropolis and the Museum >>

The Acropolis Museum’s Skip-the-Line Ticket with Audio-Guide is another popular choice.

Tickets for acropolis guided tours and visits are available online..

At GetYourGuide, you may purchase an Acropolis ticket for €45 for a guided tour of the Acropolis . The package includes a one-and-a-half-hour guided tour by an experienced local guide.  GetYourGuide has a variety of walking tours to choose from. They vary in duration and the destinations they visit. Even though these tickets allow you to avoid long lines, they typically don’t cover the cost of admission. Customers may already be eligible for discounts or multi-site passes as a consequence of this.

The Official Ticketing Site for Acropolis Tickets – The audio tour

Many people choose the skip-the-line ticket with audio tour when they want a guide but do not want a human guide. For a little fee, you may skip the line and enjoy an audio tour of the Acropolis . With a smartphone and a set of headphones, you’ll be ready to go. Instead of waiting in line, take a guided audio tour of the Acropolis that includes historical context, fun facts, and an interactive map you can take with you. In order to use this software, you must have one of the three operating systems stated above (Android or iOS) (English, French, and Spanish). More information and resources may be found by clicking here >> The five-hour tour of Athens, which includes visits to the Acropolis and the new Acropolis Museum, is the best value. My year-round recommendation is this tour. With a €84 guided tour of Athens, you’ll be able to view the Acropolis and the Royal Gardens as well as the Panathinaikos Stadium and the Acropolis Museum in person rather than via an audio guide. The €84 price includes both the Acropolis and the museum. In order to book this certified walking tour in advance, you may use GetYourGuide. In our list, which contains over 60 options for tickets and guided tours, you can find the finest Acropolis tours.
